So would you protect me if I were in harms way?” She knew…
““So would you protect me if I were in harms way?” She knew Cal’s answer before he even spoke it. The stern look that he had fixed on her revealed it plainly. “Yes.” Tamera uncrossed her legs, and stood up from the table. She stepped down from the bench onto the ground, and walked up close to Cal. “Your question wasn’t exactly asked right before,” she told him. “What question?” Cal asked perplexed. “You know. What do I want out of life?” “Oh. How would you have asked it then?” “I would have asked… what are your aspirations.” “Okay then. What are your aspirations?” “Well, a family is among them. I don’t want to be single forever.” “So what are you waiting for?” “The same thing that you are, Cal.” “The right person.” “Exactly it.” “I think I’ve already found that.” “Really? So what’s the hold up?” “I live on the edge… and… I don’t know how comfortable that view would be for someone else.” “So is there a someone in particular that you have in mind?” “Yes.” “Well, I can’t speak for everyone, but as someone, I can tell you that I don’t mind heights.” Cal reached up and gently caressed the side of Tamera’s face. Excuse barriers had been removed, there was nothing else to hold him back, and the green light got the go that it was designed to get. Cal leaned down to his compatible crush, and gave her a kiss that heated up the night.””
